I am Lisa Maria Cantalupo and I make beautiful things with leather ~ art you wear. Welcome to my leather shop, my life, my love and passion ~ my art!
I received my degree in Fashion Design from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. I began my career in fashion creating designs that incorporated rich and luxurious fabrics. For the past 17 years, I have been working with leather solely.
My leather art and clothing pieces that are available in my Etsy Shop are African inspired and Tribal and Bohemian in flare. Each piece is constructed with the Detailing and the Quality that one expects with High-End Fashion. Details such as; intricately hand-woven leather, leather cording and straps that I braid by hand (as opposed to machine made and imported), fringe that is cut by hand then trimmed and manipulated to bring out the personality of the leather, hardware that is high in quality and unique in its design, and handmade beads that are ethically sourced from Africa.
My designs and patterns are original. Each is well thought, tried and tested. Every piece is carefully crafted by hand to your specifications and made to order in my New Hampshire shop. Before my leather art leaves my hands to make its way into yours, it is cleaned, conditioned, polished and inspected. From the design’s conception to its release, my aim is on excellence.
Some of my work can be seen on stage, television, and on the big screen on clients such as; Magic Dick from the legendary J. Geils Band who wore his custom designed leather jacket in the Adam Sandler Movie, "Grown Ups 2"; celebrity motorcycle and exotic car builder, Alan Lee who wore one of three custom leather jackets on the television show, "The Chopper Challenge”; my KYRA 2-Piece Leather Boy Shorts & Bikini Top was seen worn by internet celebrity, Demi Rose; while South African swimsuit model, Candice Van Der Merwe, chose my KYRA 2-Piece Boy Shorts & Bikini Top in Suede; my Leather Dragon Scales were featured in episode 8 on the Television Show, “Legacies”; and I was commissioned by SNL to design and create a custom piece for guest host, Pharrell Williams.
My specialty is designing and creating custom leather art for both men and women. You may commission me to design and create a piece of leather art especially for you. Because the process of custom designing can be intense, I do limit my bookings. Please convo me to discuss your needs.

•◘◘◘◘◘◘ PROCESSING ORDERS ◘◘◘◘◘◘•
The time it takes me to complete an order varies from piece to piece and is dependent upon how many orders I have on my leather crafting table. I have set my "processing times" in such a way that it leaves me ample time to complete each order with careful craftswomanship, and with love and joy. In most cases, you will receive your leather goodies earlier than the estimated date. If you need something quick, to best serve you, please let me know prior to placing your order. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsExactly what I expected. Bracelets are all about the sizing. But now that I got this I feel I can safely buy others with the same sizing. Again, great work.
